GOOD THINGS 



IN: 



HENDERSON'S SEEDS 



HENDERSON'S GIANT INVINCIBLE ASTERS 



The highest achievement in China Asters- A stiperior type in 

 every way, massive, paeony-like flowers four to five inches across, 

 double to the very centers, borne on long stems, unequalled as cut 

 flowers and magnificent for garden beds. Our leaflet " Latest and 

 Best Methods of Aster Culture," free to every purchaser. Price Of 

 Seed: Rosepink, White, Crimson, Lavender, Bine, or Mixed 

 Colors, per packet, ISc. 



COUNTESS SPENCER SWEET PEA 



The most beautiful Sweet Pea in the world. A healthy grower, 

 producing abundantly long-stemmed flowers — three and often four 

 flowers to a stem. The flowers are of gigantic size with open wavy 

 standards The coloring is an exquisite harmony in shell pinks; 

 warm blush with deeper rose-pink tintings and margins. As a cut 

 flower it is usually preferred to all other sorts Countess Spencer is 

 the first sweet pea with an open keel, thus exposing the polenizing 

 organs and facilitating natural hybridization, in consquence it 

 sports somewhat — perhaps ten per cent- may produce flowers of deep 

 rose, salmon-pink and blush white, but all of the highly desirable 

 Countess Spencer size and form Price, per packet, IOC 



HENDERSON'S GIANT RAINBOW PANSIES 



Our " Trial Ground Blend " Pansies are an important, feature in 

 our Flower Seed Department and in consequence we test the newer 

 varieties of every Pansy Seed grower in the world that we know of. 

 Every morning during the pansy season these trials are examined 

 by our experts, and any plant of superlative merit or novelty is 

 J marked with a stake The seed is then gathered from these "staked" 

 < plants, thus giving us a blend of only the best German, French, Eng- 

 lish, Scotch and American Pansies in grand mixture. Price, per 

 packet. IOC. 



HENDERSON'S "SUGAR SWEET" CORN "HIAWATHA" 



Earliness, productiveness, and above all, delicious quality are the 

 pronounced merits of this new Sweet Corn. The plant grows about 

 five feet high, bearing two and often three ears to a stalk. The c-s. 

 about eight inches long, are compactly filled with long, pearly w mte 

 kernels that remain long "in the milk"; lusciously tender and sweet, 

 almost "melting in your mouth " A perfect corn for the home table. 

 Price, mailed free. 20c. per packet (sufficient ioi 25 hills). 



HENDERSON'S "TENDERHEART" LETTUCE 



The finest large early head Lettuce Every plant uniformly per- 

 fect, about ten inches across and nearly all head, compactly formed 

 of waxy-cream heart leaves of splendid substance, tender, sweet and 

 crisp. It is suited for both garden and cold frame culture and it also 

 resists summer heat splendidly, standing fully two weeks after fully 

 headed before it bolts to seed Price, ISc. per packet. 



HENDERSON'S "PONDEROSA" TOMATO 



The Grandest Tomato on Earth It has received more enthus- 

 iastic praise from users and taken more first premiums than any 

 other six vegetables combined. Henderson's Ponderosa is in every 

 way splendid, the handsomest and largest fruited tomato grown, 

 frequently weighing two pounds each, and sometimes much more. 

 It is almost as solid as beefsteak; nearly seedless, with firm, red 

 flesh of the finest quality; unequalled either sliced, cooked or canned. 

 It is grown everywhere. Price, IOC. per packet.
